Police charge Brockton man with carrying dangerous weapon

BARNSTABLE — A Brockton man pleaded not guilty in Barnstable District Court Monday to carrying a dangerous weapon, according to court documents.

On Saturday afternoon, Yarmouth police arrested Brenden Barros, 24, after an officer pulled him over at the intersection of Route 28 and Seaview Avenue in South Yarmouth, according to a police report.

Barros was on probation for illegal possession of a defaced firearm and illegal possession of a large capacity firearm, according to a statement from police.

The officer asked Barros if he had a weapon on him and Barros said he did, the report says. Police found a spring-loaded knife with a 3½-inch blade in Barros' pocket, according to the report and the statement.

He was released on personal recognizance. He is scheduled to appear in court for a pretrial hearing on Sept. 8, according to the court documents.
